Rice (Oryza sativa) is a salt-sensitive species and improvement of salt resistance is a major goal for
plant breeders. Some species of Oryza genus may constitute an interesting source of genes involved in
stress resistance for cultivated rice improvement. The African rice Oryza glaberrima is poorly described
for its response to salt stress. Twenty-five accessions of O. glaberrima were exposed during 2 weeks to
0 or 60 mM NaCl in nutrient solution. Morphological and physiological parameters were recorded and
used to perform principal component analysis allowing us to consider three contrasting groups (saltresistant,
medium, and salt-sensitive). Most of the tested lines appeared more salt-sensitive than the
moderately salt-resistant cultivar I Kong Pao from O. sativa. Salt-sensitivity index was higher for roots
than for shoots and O. glaberrima was poorly efficient for regulation of Na+ translocation from the root
to the shoot. Some accessions such as TOG5307 however were able to maintain a high net
photosynthesis under salt conditions and exhibited a high level of tolerance to accumulated Na+ ions
and a high capacity for osmotic adjustment. It is concluded that these salt-tolerant accessions
constitute a promising material for rice improvement through inter-specific crosses with O. sativa. |
